Got this passing our tests. Could someone functionally test this change?

[newbenji]

Well the newest module version is working for me again on centos

Hi @newbenji Could you test this fork with python3 to ensure it works before I merge it

[newbenji]

i tested it before and i know its working.
The main reason for my error was faulty detection of python i think. so this was just a symptom.
i tried the 1.8.2 today and it worked
